merry and bright

We got our tree this weekend! We went to the usual tree farm and took in all the annual traditions. The sleigh ride:

Hot chocolate and hot dogs and snuggling by the fire:

And scoring a tree, of course :)

We finished decorating it Monday night. The Hubs and I laughed about how, for so many years, we had clumps of ornaments, 10 or so per branch, all along the bottom and a naked tree top. Now, it is all about the ladder for the kids. They want to go up HIGH. They even started scaling the walls to deck the halls :)

Crazy kids! And of course there was some rocking out to Harry Connick Jr. Christmas tunes (in pajamas apparently 3 sizes too small)....

It looks fabulous and you all obviously had a great time in getting it ready.

We have a real tree too, but with temperatures in the mid-nineties, we tend to buy it as late as possible - Christmas Eve if we can! This year we are hosting WM's family get-together on 16th, so he will get a tree on 15th. My family won't be here till 29th - I hope it survives that long!

Beautiful kids and beautiful tree. I love a real tree, but we only have straggly pines here in Australia in summer. I see you have a layer of snow already. Where abouts in Canada do you live. My younger brother lived in Banff for 6 months in 08-09 and Whistler for 18 months from March 2011 til Sept this year. Now he's 30 and used up his work visa he needs sponsorship to go back!
